They were actively redlined neighborhoods, often in sundown towns, and loans were given that excluded black people on the basis of their race (see also: the GI bill that excluded black veterans). Not to mention the black neighborhoods and economic centers within cities that were bulldozed and paved over with highways, especially highway interchanges, in order to facilitate this ‘white flight’ from the cities.

Hey, what did slugs and slime molds ever do to you??

I thought it was a tonsil stone or something

Could be fish sticks

Finally, an AI for scat fetishists. Just what the world needed.

I was told to take 6 as if taking more would make it any less ineffective

Iirc there are actually three major nerves that are stimulated by the cervix. What that doctor was referring to was the Kinsey report, which concluded in 1953 (against its own findings I might add) that the cervix was “the most completely insensitive part of the female genital anatomy.”

Condoms are only 98% effective, even with perfect use. That means that in a year, for every 100 people who use condoms as their only method of prevention, two of them will get pregnant.

Not even taking into account typical use (which results in closer to 12 pregnancies for every 100 people), 2 for every 100 of the hundreds of thousands of people that use condoms, is not “pretty much 100% effective”. Please don’t tell people that it is.

There’s always the option that they believe he’s the antichrist and are just rapture accelerationists

Aliexpress will usually display the lowest price out of all the options under a listing. It’ll show the wrong picture for it though. So, say you’re searching for a 32oz pitcher and there’s a listing with options that go from 64oz down to 8oz. It’ll display the picture for the one you’re searching for but since the price for the smaller one is lower, it’ll show you that price to get you to click. Or if you’re looking for a mop with a bucket but the listing also has replacement pads under it for the mop, you can get the picture of the mop with the price for the pads. The prices for the individual options stays firm though (within reason, let’s say a single day of browsing).

Slavs weren’t really considered white back then. “White” as a social construct goes far beyond skin color.

It’s not hubris though. They know what they are doing and they don’t care because they won’t be the ones hurt by it. They would legitimately rather Trump be president than win by having to adopt any kind of actually progressive policy. This is what all of their actions have shown us. Don’t give them a pass for incompetence, they are just as culpable for the situation we find ourselves in today.

It must feel empowering to only hold positions that are impossible to prove or disprove. Super brave.

I wouldn’t know, maybe you can tell me more about it?

Meanwhile, anyone living in the real world that is actually paying attention knows that what is happening now (in the US and in Gaza) is not normal and is not what any Democratic President would be doing.

This is not an honest response to any of the arguments I made.

You are not a serious person. I will not be engaging further; I have organizing to do that does not involve scapegoating people who will be hurt by this administration or living in alternate realities where everyone unquestioningly does what I want them to do because I said so.

Donald Trump says a lot of things. What he did was get them two months of relative peace. That would not have happened under Kamala, there would be no intermission to “resume” bombing from, there would just still be bombing. If Kamala wanted those voters then she should have broke from Biden’s support of Israel, which she did not do and is not how you get a ceasefire done with Israel. No, what she said is that we would have the “most lethal military” in the face of Palestinians her campaign blocked from speaking at the DNC. Biden said he had red lines, but never did anything when Israel crossed them.

That is how democracy works, you have to earn votes. “Vote for me or else” is not a fucking popular platform for what should be very obvious reasons.

Is it really more important to you to attack these voters and hold back the discourse, over 4 months after the election, as your government is breaking every rule in the book and your party is playing right along with it? The election result is not going to change no matter how many people you throw under the bus for it. These are the cards you were dealt, it’s time to move on and play spades.

Were you not here for the last year of Biden’s presidency or something?

The OneDrive plug at the end is *chefs kiss*

I disagree but I’m willing to accept a compromise at gargoyles.

The first one is positive.

The second is zero, so probably 1 downvoted

The third if you notice the comment you replied to is positive and implying Biden supports genocide

The only thing you’ve proven is that it is controversial enough for just as many people to upvote as have downvoted, your viewer just only shows the net result. Try viewing these in the browser for a more accurate assessment.

Trump doesn’t support them because he got his ego bruised when they wouldn’t give him dirt on Biden and his “perfect phone call” got leaked to the press. Before this phone call, Trump did support them, which is why he even had aid to withhold as an extortion mechanism. Also, Trump wants Putin to be his buddy. Also, this is the same deal Biden put up months ago (with Ukraine having lost ground in the war since then), Trump is just far less cordial about it.

The US is always two-faced about its foreign policy, which is to pretend to be an ally for as long as it takes to get smaller nations into predatory deals at their weakest and forcing them to give up the very resources they would need to pay us back. This is what it looks like to be a vassal state for the US, which seems to be what Zelensky wanted from the jump if we look at the facts of the situation. As the saying goes; live by the sword, die by the sword.

Unfortunately the war has come far enough that to not accept this deal is to subject Ukranians to even more death and destruction at Russian hands. It’s the only way out for Ukrainian sovereignty. Zelensky knows it. Trump knows it. Putin knows it.
